Answer:

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad   \frac{1}{24} }}} \\ \\

\:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 1/8 unit and we have to find the length of each side of the triangle.

So, we know that,

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad 3a = Perimeter_{(Equilateral triangle) }}}} \\ \\

Now, substituting the given values in the formula :

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad 3a =  \frac{1}{8} }}} \\ \\

By doing cross multiplication we get :

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad 3a(8) =  1(1) }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad 24a =  1 }}} \\ \\

Dividing both sides by 24 we get :

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad  \frac{24a}{24}  =  \frac{1}{24} }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad  a  =  \frac{1}{24} }}} \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The length of each side of the triangle is 1/24 units

<h2>The length of each side of the equilateral traingle is 1/24 unit.</h2>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 1/8 unit. With this information, we are asked to find the length of each side of yhe equilateral traingle.

The perimeter of equilateral traingle is defined as the three times of the length of edge. Mathematically;

→ Perimeter = 3a

By substituting the given values in the formula, we get the following results:

→ 1/8 = 3a

→ a = 1/24

Hence, the length of each side of the equilateral traingle is 1/24 unit.

<u>Additional information:</u>

  • A triangle has three sides or edges.
  • A triangle has three angles.
  • A triangle has three vertices or corners.
  • The sum of all internal angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees. This is known as the angle sum property of a triangle.
  • The sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
  • There are three types of triangle, Scalene Triangle, Isosceles Triangle, Equilateral Triangle.
  • Area of triangle = 1/2 * b * h.
  • Perimeter of triangle = sum of all sides.

A ship tracked for 4 hours heading south and for 5 hours heading west. If the total distance traveled was 191 miles and the ship
Lyrx [107]
Given that the ship was traveling for 4 mph faster heading west than south then let the speed of the ship heading south be x mph, the speed of the ship heading west will be (x+4) mph
the distance is given by:
distance=speed*time
distance heading south was:
x*4=4x miles
distance heading west was:
5(x+4)=5x+20
thus the total distance will be given by:
4x+(5x+20)=191
9x+20=191
9x=191-20
9x=171
x=171/9
x=19 mph
the speed the ship used to travel west was:
x+4
=19+4
=21 mph

Real Simple,
jeka94
First of all, you must find out how many miles it takes to go 4 hours and 8 hours.

112 ÷ 4 = 28 miles per hour

112 ÷ 8 = 14 miles per hour

So, going downstream will take 28 miles per hour and going in still water will take 14 miles per hour.
